Philipp completes his happiness in regained liberty by surprising Nicola: they have a rather intimate wedding in the castle chapel. Sebastian and Ludwig set their bitter pride aside for the family legacy. Ansgar makes Tanyn a tempting offer to bail on the credit agreement and get a full 50% share after he forecloses, but finally chooses to remain loyal to Sebastian, who expresses his appreciation sexually. Elisabeth's wining not to have been consulted while abroad is justly waved.
